Words snide piercing mercilessly, like
Cord tightening around my neck,
             suffocating me...

Snidy comments, piercing, strangling
A deadly noose around my neck,
Gasping for breath, I stay becalmed...and quietened...

It worked, Kaile.

btw, I just posted for your no "E" challenge in #7, hope that is what you expected...

regards, sudhir< !signature-->

 Hey you, out there in the cold,
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisle,
With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light.
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own,
Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me?
Hey you, with your ear against the wall,
Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home....

by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall

hi kaile!  this sounds like an excellent beginning, but im not a fan of 3 line poems. (have you been privy to my ranting on super short poems?  i think i will spare you my lunacy ) I think the connection between your verse and your title is still unclear, and with a little development, you could really say something cool.  feel free (as always) to ignore me.
luv Elyse

Very well then . . . . I contradict myself;
I am large . . . . I contain multitudes.

Dear Elyse, this is modelled after a poem i have read recently

Loving in Vain

Waiting in the rain
Nothing came;
        except the pain


i was impressed with the use of the words "vain,rain and pain" and have tried to imitate his style here...

Is it better if i change the title to

Callous Lord

Words snide piercing mercilessly, like
Cord tightening around my neck
               suffocating me...
